You can publish your works under every license you want. Can even be two or more licenses. So you don't need to re-license the tracks you published on the net, you can simply send them the tracks with a letter "I hereby grant them...", you can define the rules in there too (like payment). But they probably can not make you sign a letter stating that you give them exclusive rights or even sell your rights to them unless you manage to remove all the versions from the net (and the users computers/players)... But I am not a layer and my knowledge is _very_ small. Arnold -- visit http://www.arnoldarts.de/ --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.
